Hey yall,

My partner and I are heading to New Zealand in December for about 8 months on a work visa. I’m hoping to spend 1-2 months of those months touring and I’m looking for ideas.

I mostly enjoy road touring but are open to dirt too. If gravel/ dirt is what New Zealand is best for I’ll switch to that, I just had a tough time enjoying the Peru Great Divide when I was there in the past. I like hills and are down for climbs, usually like to average 3k a day/ 40-50 miles per day. At the moment I have a trek 520 but are willing to look for something else if gravel is more common.
